Now Viewing: ashigara_(kantai_collection)Tag type: Character 足柄 Ashigara is the third (launched last in real life) Myoukou-class heavy cruiser, in Kantai_Collection. Her name is taken from Mount Ashigara [1] meaning "Leg/Pattern". The name is actually born from Ainu [2] language Áskar-i meaning "Place of Purity", which is a locative form of Àskan-ne meaning "Purity" The Myoukou-class wears a purple uniform with a black tight skirt, white pantyhose and white elbow gloves. Ashigara herself has wavy_hair, long_hair, brown_hair with a white horned_headwear hairband as well as brown eyes. A shipgirl with a strong and independent personality. She is also said to be a good cook (mostly curry) and have a voluptuous, womanly figure. Well-known for her obsession with victory, almost on a level equivalent to Sendai's obsession with night battles. She is nicknamed "Hungry Wolf", nickname given during the naval review celebrating George VI's coronation where she was Japan's representative. Because of this nickname, it's not uncommon to draw her with wolf_ears and/or fangs. She is a doting elder sister toward her younger (older in real life) sister Haguro_(Kantai_Collection). In turn, she goes to Arguably the most popular of the Myoukou-class, followed by Haguro, Myoukou, then Nachi. A running gag on 4chan and 2chan is that she is a "Christmas Cake"; a woman above 30 who for whatever reason is unable to find a candidate for marriage and has gotten desperate, or one who is just exceptionally poor at romance. Where exactly this joke came from is unknown, though it's a possible reference to the fact that her nickname "Hungry Wolf" could be taken to refer middle aged women hungry for males, or due to several of her commanding officers were never married. It's also possible the joke came from her name — purity —, which is usually thought of as a good thing but it's possible the joke is she's still "pure" (virgin, unmarried) despite her mid-to-late 20s look. One other theory about her being a "Christmas Cake" is related to the legend of the folk-hero Kintaro [3], who was raised in Mount Ashigara by a Yama-uba [4] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yama-uba, or in other words, a Mountain Hag. Her second remodel (remodel_(Kantai_Collection)) gives her a new modified uniform shared with her sister ships' second remodel. Her main difference is the addition of a patterned neckerchief made up of various international maritime signal flags (the ones identified so far are the G, L, M, X, Y and Z flags).
